USC Title 17 § 107 contains the definition of fair use within the US.

Huh? Do you not understand copyright at ALL?
Start with USC Title 17 § 106. Copying a copyrighted work beyond the 
implicit permission given via fair use and without explicit license is 
copyright infringement. This is about as basic as it can get.


You really need to take a step back and consider ceasing from posting. 
You're not going to win the argument. You're not going to win any kind 
of respect or get anyone to assist you. And you're not even going to win 
anyone's sympathies. Your posts make it clear that you don't actually 
understand the law and choose name-calling, insult, and nonsensical 
repetition as your tools of argument.

Please do cease. It will prove to us how Christian you are and put us 
all in our place.
